Do you know what Tuxxin stands for?

Some of you already knew what it meant, some did not.. Now everyone will!

Linux has been apart of my life for a long time and it’s something I’ve really enjoyed working with. “Nix” is a term Systems Administrators use when answering the question, “What OS do you run?”. I liked the way it looked and sounded so I used it for part of my online alias (forever a gamer!)… That brings us to “Tux”. He’s the awesome penguin mascot for the Linux kernel. I’ve always liked penguins and figured why not name my company after them, who I am and what I do. And that is Tuxxin Inc. Have you noticed the two-tone logo? =)

Think about it… Penguins are the only species other than humans that can successfully control a continent.
